Red Star Move Up to Second After 3-1 Win at Guingamp

An early red card left Guingamp a man down and let Red Star convert strong away form into a decisive victory led by two goals from Damien Durand.

Overview

  • Red Star beat Guingamp 3-1 at the Roudourou after Guingamp defender Donatien Gomis was sent off early, leaving the home side with ten players for most of the match.
  • Damien Durand scored twice, including the third that sealed the game, while Jovany Ikanga scored the second goal and set up Durand’s second with an assist.
  • Guingamp briefly reduced the deficit through Erwin Koffi in the 67th minute but could not recover before Red Star restored a two-goal lead two minutes later.
  • The win is Red Star’s fourth of the season and continues a strong run of away results that includes earlier victories at Nantes and Laval, pushing them to second place behind Saint-Étienne.
  • On the same matchday Nantes won 2-1 at Boulogne after Mathieu Mion was sent off late and Robinet converted the resulting penalty, showing how red cards and late moments are shaping Ligue 2 standings.
